The Department Of War chords by Jesse Welles

Guitar chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]
 D
Well, there's a bloated inefficient bureaucratic mass
D
Run by a mediocre soldier quasi-general ass
 G
A diabolical office of death and waste
 D
Run by a weekend anchor with a desperate rage
 A
It's a big black hole, a trillion dollars deep
 G
Funneling money to the Pentagon welfare queens
 D
You got your Lockheed Martin, Raytheon (RTX), Boeing
A
Northrop Grumman and the list keeps going


[Verse 2]
 D
Now, a government contract keeps the salary high
D
The quality low, the competition light
 G                           G7
If DOGE looked funny, what did you expect?
 D
Elon was getting a check for the old SpaceX
 A
They're making tanks and guns, software to spy
 G        N.C.
You know, a Tomahawk missile's just a Werther's Original
N.C.
For an empire in decline
 D
Murdering people from a distance with a Hellfire rocket
D
Quarter million bucks a pop out of the people's pocket
 G
Folks back home are sick, getting sicker
 D
Hey Pete, bomb the poor in the south, it'd be a whole lot
quicker
 A
If you're feeling inadequate, a little bit small
 G
Give your big boy order, kill them all kill them all


[Chorus]
 D
The DOD, the DOW, you can call it whatever you want
D
War is a racket, no matter how you stack it
 A
Making treasure and gold out of poor man's blood


[Verse 3]
D
Revolving doors, campaign contributions
D
Writing congressmen checks for policy influence
 G                     G
And if you lose your seat, buddy don't get blue
G
The lobby that bought you's got an office for you
 A
They appeal to your morals, appeal to your fears
 G
Say folks far away are a threat to you here
 D
There's a malignant tumor in our nation's guts
 A
Our own department of defense is a threat to us


[Chorus]
 D
The DOD, the DOW, you can call it whatever you want
D
War is a racket, no matter how you stack it
 A
Making treasure and gold out of poor man's blood


[Outro]
D
